Yeah the big thing I’ve seen is that companies have historically over claimed on their 477 reports in weird and interesting ways. I understand why and how it happens, for example, if we do a HH meet for service at location X in census tract 2020-01 and I have a 2 mile loop to location Y in census tract 2020-02, what is the service address? When there’s a new service, how does it get re-geocoded? Did you get all the exceptions handled properly? The new BDC rules are also a bit odd compared to the 477 ones, which if at an address I sold 2 services, I might have 2 locations but BDC says it’s 1 even if duplex. Things just get a bit sticky around this is all when it comes to this. I appreciate better accuracy as Comcast still claims to offer service at my home which isn’t true. So do a few other providers as well which is inaccurate. I already filed my 477 for 1H22, now to get this BDC done. - jared

We're really struggling to find the required engineer for the filing, and we're small enough that we don't have an officer with engineering credentials.
Any pointers in the CO/WY/NE/KS area would be great, on or off list.
I sure hope we're the only org with this problem still, and all the rest of you are good to go.
Thanks, dave
